[Solo Singer Special] K-POP & Korean Male Solo Artists (41–50)

Nobody But you최시원 (SIWON)

[술꾼도시여자들 OST Part 5] 최시원 (SIWON) – Nobody But you (M/V)
Nobody But you최시원 (SIWON)

Siwon, a member of Super Junior, the entertainer group Korea is proud of.

With his instantly recognizable handsomeness and masculine style, he takes center stage and perfectly matches the group’s stylish image.

He began his acting career with the drama “Precious Family” and has been active as an actor as well.

A devout Christian and a chaebol heir, he’s also highly global, fluent in English and Chinese—but above all, it’s his character that draws people in.

On stage, he’s modest yet charming and funny, and his gentlemanly attitude toward fans is truly wonderful.

Be sure to enjoy his gentle, enveloping vocals, too.

I also recommend the OST “Nobody But You” from “Work Later, Drink Now.”

This is a song by Samuel, born in Los Angeles to a Spanish American and Korean family in 2002.

He was overflowing with talent from a young age, even debuting at 13 as part of the duo 1PUNCH.

He’s also set to debut in Japan in 2018, so we’re looking forward to seeing him succeed there as well.

Ryeowook is very good at cooking and has even been called SUPER JUNIOR’s ‘omma’—their mom.

This is a solo song by Gikwang, a member of Highlight (formerly BEAST).

Before debuting as part of BEAST, he also debuted as a solo singer under the name AJ, showcasing his talent.

In addition to his activities as a singer, he has appeared in numerous dramas.

Your Shampoo Scent In The FlowersJang Beom June(장범준)

Your Shampoo Scent In The FlowersJang Beom June(장범준)

Jang Beom June, the leader, vocalist, and guitarist of the band Busker Busker that broke out on the audition show Superstar K3.

After the band disbanded, he made his solo debut in 2014 with the album Jang Beom June Vol.1, delivering hits such as Fallen in Love Only With You.

In 2019, the OST Your Shampoo Scent in the Flowers for the drama Be Melodramatic became a massive hit.

His slightly ennui-tinged vocals and laid-back mood are addictive, making him a singer-songwriter whose music leaves you feeling soft and warm.

This is a song by Jay Park, a Korean-American who was formerly the leader of 2PM.

In 2013, he launched his own company and began working as a solo artist, and he has also started a new label to support the activities of its signed artists.

His dance and rap are on such a high level that you’ll definitely get hooked once you listen.

When it comes to SUPER JUNIOR, I think many people in Korea picture Heechul, Leeteuk, and Siwon.

That’s because Heechul and Leeteuk are hugely active on variety shows—cool yet funny, entertaining big brothers who can always get laughs.

Siwon, meanwhile, is active as an actor.

Although Heechul usually has a playful image, his 2019 solo release is actually an adult contemporary love ballad.

It tells a poignant story: he can’t forget the girlfriend he broke up with, but she has already moved on from the heartbreak.

He sings it tenderly, yet in the music video you can still enjoy his variety-star side, with scenes of Heechul relaxing in a tracksuit.
